Event Coverage Photos from the Super Fun 2018 Hot Rod Hill Climb

Member

Thanks so much Larry (@sololobo) and @JUNK ROD! You're welcome.
Here is what I consider a "Coverage Only Shot" meaning that there are too many things wrong with it to really warrant and serious fixing, but it's a great car, so I am including it.

Good morning Dan, just wanted to comment on the example of how you work from post #52.

I haven't shot in several years, but when I did Ektachrome 200 was my usual choice.
Your before image reminds me of unmamipulated Ektachome. While the after is very reminiscent of fully saturated Kodachrome. But, it would be very hard to capture racing photos even with the "fast" Kodachrome 64.

Thank you for all the work you do! And, I'd like to leave you with a quote from Alfred Stieglitz:
"In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality"

Thanks again,
-Dave

You're welcome and thanks Dave (@town sedan). I was a big Ektachrome user too, though mostly 100 and also K64 quite a bit too and Velvia and Fujichrome 100. I loved playing with them all. Digital really is a blessing when it comes to high contrast days and scenes like these.

Thanks @cajunfirehawk. For this event 98% of the pictures were taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II body with an Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-100mm F/4.0 IS PRO lens. The lens also had a polarizer. This has been my primary camera for the last year and a half. I love it because it is considerably smaller and lighter than my Nikon D750 and lenses that I was using. That said, a lot of cameras would be able to achieve these type of results.

Here is a link to a video I made going up the hill in the rumble seat of Larry Filipczak's roadster with him driving and Tom Caskey as co-pilot. It shows the whole ride from the time we left the pits until we returned. Sorry for all the wind noise, but the lack of windshield made the view much better.

First time I've seen you do a video---THANKS FOR THE RIDE ALONG!!!! Thats a REAL hill climb!! The Longest I've seen (except for a motorcycle "scramble type HILL climb) was a 1/2 mile , steep, but straight line. Wow---What a ride. I've got nothing to compare it to, but it seemed that the ride you were in handled the run quite well. How did that car rank in the standings at the end of the races? I sincerely believe I've got a new entree to my bucket list. Thank you Dan. Bill Rinaldi

Dan, Thanks for the ride uo the hill. I've never ridden in a rumble seat before, so I got two new things going.

Thanks Snowman (@jim snow), Bill (@Bill Rinaldi) and Ron (@345 coupe). It is always a blast riding in one of these. Bill - they really don 't time anyone or have any standings - all just for fun. The car I rode in:
I have been in before both here and at the Dirt Drags. It does very well and it very solid and Larry is a great driver and friend. Ron, the rumble seat was really tight - definitely not as comfortable as riding in one of the regular seats, but since I was jammed in there, it did help me stay balanced going through the curves.
